I had one ebook from a large publisher all <div> instead of <p>
From every point of view that's stupidity. If <div> is used at all, it's an extra level of structure, not a tag for body paragraphs. Clue even in the name.

How do they even manage such stupidity?

I've only spent hours "repairing" an ebook if it's badly proofed OCR to be almost unreadable and it's part of a series and otherwise unobtainable. All of those from Amazon. I learnt years ago to only download PDFs from archive dot org, because their auto generated ebook formats are an insult and mostly unusable.
